Willow

This cabled pullover was inspired by the branches of the willow, which can be intertwined almost like braids. The cables flow from the shoulders into the body, turning in unexpected directions.

CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The shoulders are shaped with increases, while the neckline is formed using German Short Rows. After shoulder increases, shaping continues with sleeve and body increases. The mirrored cables are first worked on the shoulders, then they shift to the body, framing the sleeves, and then after the separation run down the sides of the body. The body is worked straight and finished with 1 x 1 Rib. The sleeves are worked in Stockinette Stitch with shaping and end in rib as the body. The neck is finished with a 1 x 1 Rib collar.
